I’m not sure what it is.. but there is something outrageously delightful about the raccoon coat era. I have always found such a coat to be my best friend in the cold — and the immediate subject of conversation by chilled admirers wishing to trade coats. Thanks, but NO DEAL.!
Takes 30-40 raccoons to make a coat.
